Hey guys! I have brought out yet another chapter! Just wanna say thanks for the 6,000 views! You guys love this story, don't you? Not that I'm complaining! :D

Disclaimer: I don't own OHSHC! (you know this ready :P )

So it's 2:43 in the morning and I'm still awake. Not for the usual reason but because I can't breathe. Every time I try and sleep, my blocked nose says no! I don't have a cold, I know that some people have blocked noses during the night and disappears in the morning. So I've been tossing and turning in my sleep but still nothing!

When it was time to leave for school, I felt worse. I thought it would go but I was wrong. I sat in the classroom and retrieved my books from my bag. Mrs Humphrey must have snuck in some tissues in my bag as I found a packet in there. God bless that woman, she must have known I would need them today. I rested my head on the desk, attempting to get as much sleep as I could.

"Eve, are you okay?" By the sound of the voice, it sounded like Hikaru.

"Yeah, you don't look so good." That sounds like his brother.

I looked up and nodded at them as well as Haruhi who must have been with them as they walked into the room. I then grabbed a tissue and blew my nose. Yuck! I feel like crap. I just wish I get better soon for the club later on.

At lunch I walked down the corridor. I hadn't seen Kevin at all today which was weird I mean He usually wants to spend time with me at lunch. Is he still upset about me rejecting him? I tried to put it gently and he's still my best friend. I then saw him turning into the left corridor. I tried to run but my energy wasn't with me today. I called his name loud enough but he wasn't responding. That's a bit weird…

I met up with the Hosts at lunch. I grabbed my delicious looking pasta salad from my bag and a fork. Before I stabbed my meal I began to think; is Kevin avoiding me? I didn't mean to hurt him, I was just telling the truth. He seemed okay after I apologised though, right? I look at my lunch, for some reason, I lost my appetite.

"Eve, is something wrong?" Tamaki-senpai asked.

"Well… I suppose."

"What's the matter Evie-chan? Me and Usa-chan are worried." I'll give you one guess who said that.

"I think Kevin's avoiding me." I replied.

"Who cares? It's his problem, he should man up or you should forget about him." Hikaru commented.

"Excuse me? He's my best friend! What gives you the right to say that Hikaru?!"

"He left you before and now he's done it again. That's not what I call a best friend." He replied.

Everyone stared at him in shock. I can't believe he said that! Kaoru then elbowed his brother in the stomach and they gave each other a look. I just packed up my stuff and left. He has no right to say that to me! Now I need to find somewhere to eat. Well try and eat since my appetite disappeared.

I had found the tree outside the maze and sat next to it. If Hikaru is going to be like this, then I'm not going to bother in telling him how I feel! Kevin is my best friend no matter what but the older devil did have a point though. Kevin deserted me before and he did it again. This time, Kevin may have a reason to avoid me though. I sighed and rested my head against the tree. I started to sneeze and took out another tissue. It might be the pollen or something.

"Hey." I looked up to find Haruhi looking down at me.

"Sorry I stormed off like that." I apologised. She then sat next to me.

"it's okay, Hikaru did something like that to me last year."

"Why did he say those things anyway?" I asked.

"He's jealous." She said bluntly.

"But why?"

"Evie-chan! There you are! We've been looking all over for you, right Takashi?" The small blonde said as the rest of the Hosts came running to us.

"Yeah." His cousin answered.

"I just needed some air." I said, avoiding Hikaru's gaze.

Everyone else sat next to me and Haruhi and just talked. It was nice and relaxing but my mind still drifted back to Kevin. Then I started to feel worse as I had a high temperature and I kept sneezing. What's wrong with me? Wait! Nothing's wrong with me, I'm fine! I need to find Kevin!

"Can we go for a walk? I need to clear my head." I asked.

Everyone agreed and we headed off into the school. I started to feel a little dizzy but I shook it off for now. As we continued to wander, I searched for my best friend. However, I was getting dizzier and dizzier by the minute.

"Is something the matter Evelyn?" Kyouya-senpai asked.

"You look a little pale." Kaoru said.

"I'm fine, just an off day, is all." I replied.

We made our way to the main grand staircase. I really can't shake off this feeling. I held back to the back of the group. I didn't really speak as I was trying to concentrate in getting rid of this feeling. I then suddenly started to lose my balance as we were beginning to walk down the steps.

"Eve, are you sure you're okay?" Hikaru asked.

I then fell into his arms and blacked out. I opened my eyes to see Hikaru carrying me. I turned my head to see the others rushing me to somewhere. My eyes felt heavy again as their voices fade. I woke up again in the infirmary for the second time. God dammit! Why does this always happen to me?

"Look! She's awake!" Tamaki-senpai said.

Out of nowhere the twins ran and gave me a killer bear hug. I said I couldn't breathe and they let go. Then it was my 'Daddy's' turn to hug me. Everyone else smiled and sighed in relief. I looked at them with a confused look.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You collapsed because you have the flu." Kyouya-senpai answered.

"What? I don't have the flu!" I denied it; no way I would get sick!

"You're being sent home Eve." Haruhi told me.

"What about the club?"

I need to go to the club! Kevin will be there, he always is! Plus I'll be letting everyone down. I can't do that. Sure I originally signed up for this club to annoy the hell out of my brother but I've grown attached to the guys and the club itself.

"Well, we would have to give refunds to all your guests." Kyouya-senpai said.

"Fine but this club better not fall apart without me, I keep this thing all together." I winked.

"Well, at least her personality hasn't changed." The twins chorused sarcastically.

I didn't want to leave but the nurse knows best I suppose. Hikaru eventually apologised but what I wanna know is; is he really jealous? Mrs Humphrey came in and we left not long after. I kept sneezing and this time I was coughing. Maybe I do have the flu.

As soon as I got home, I went straight to my room, dropped my bag, changed into some PJ's and jumped into bed. A maid came in with a wet cloth to cool me down a little. She then said that someone will get me some chicken soup. I never understood why chicken soup is supposed to make you feel better but it does.

A different maid came in with my chicken soup. I love chicken! It's my favourite type of meat! She got a tray and placed the bowl and spoon on top. She then ran out and ran back in with a bell. I guess it's if I need anything which means I'm bedridden.

"Excuse me, could you get me something to read? Since I'm stuck here, I'm going to be bored."

"Certainly." The maid said before she left.

I wonder if the guys are okay? I mean the club was successful before I was attending Ouran but things have been interesting since I came along right? I hope no one is disappointed in me… I wonder if Kevin even showed up? That's it! I'm calling them! Who should I call? Tamki-senpai? Haruhi? The twins? I think I'll ring them. I dialled the number and let it ring. Luckily for me they answered.

"Hey Eve, you feeling any better?" Hikaru asked.

"Yeah, we've been worried about you." His brother said.

"I'm better, how's the club? It hasn't fallen apart, has it?" I replied.

"Nope." They laughed.

"Say, do you guys wanna come over? I'm kinda bored and need cheeri ng up so I thought if I saw your mugs you call faces, it would cheer me up." I asked.

"Sorry Eve but we're hanging out with Haruhi today."

Haruhi? I thought the twins would love to see my home. Maybe, I was wrong? Maybe Hikaru does like her? Kaoru said he doesn't anymore… maybe they are just doing homework? Yeah that must be it! Should I invite anyone else round? Kevin hasn't spoken to me and no one else is in my class so I can't get any homework. Tamaki-senpai would probably be round Haruhi's. Heck, everyone might be round hers. I'm kind of jealous but she's my best friend so I shouldn't be upset.

That evening, the maid had brought me a bunch of manga! I was never really into it; mainly 'cause I don't want to be classed as an otaku or a weeabo but the maid had brought me a variety of shoujo manga. With some of these crazy romance stories, I'm surprised they haven't made one about the Host Club.

The next day I was still stuck in bed. I had no contact from the other guys which I find odd. I wonder what they are gonna get up to today? Well I hope it's nothing interesting or I'll miss out! I began to read the manga and some of it is interesting! Man, I wish I had a better love life like these girls! They always get the guy in the end!

I still hadn't heard from the guys… I'm getting worried. They usually worry about me especially Tamki-senpai, being a drama queen as usual but this time nothing. I couldn't really do anything since I've been confined to my bed by Mrs Humphrey. Is something going on? Is it their way in saying they don't want me around anymore? If that's the case, they could have told me instead of treating me like this.

By the evening, I still hadn't heard from anyone. I left text messages but no one replied. On the plus side, I've been feeling much better! So I exited my room to have a shower. After the shower I changed into a nightdress and headed to the kitchen. As soon as I opened the fridge, I was stopped by the chef.

"No need to cook madam. I'll make you something!" The chef said.

"Well can I have something solid? I'm sick of chicken soup."

"Yes Miss Trundell. How about spaghetti?"

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" I said.

I headed for the dining room, only to stop in my tracks. There in front of me stood two people. To most people, they would think they're clones of each other but to me they were two different people. They had big smiles plastered on their faces. One of them, the older one, had something behind their backs. What's going on?

"Eve! Are you feeling better?" They said in unison.

"Well yeah… why are you here?" I asked.

"To see you… and your house." Hikaru answered.

"Sorry we didn't see you yesterday, we needed Haruhi's help for something." Kaoru added.

Okay, so now I feel slightly stupid but that doesn't explain why they didn't text me today. Even the others didn't get in contact with me. I felt like they were giving me the cold shoulder. Speaking of cold, I looked down at myself and my cheeks grew warm. I'm still wearing my nightdress!

"Guys, why don't you sit at the table? You can have dinner with me. I'll be right back."

I then sped off into the kitchen ad told the chef to make three spaghetti dishes instead of one. I then ran off upstairs, dodging every obstacle with my amazing skills and changed again. I changed into simple blue jogging bottoms and a white t-shirt. I ran downstairs and sat at the table.

"So how's the club today? Did you see Kevin?" I asked.

"No. We didn't." Hikaru said bluntly.

"The club's fine, we all miss you." Kaoru said.

"Then why didn't you text or call me?"

I was genuinely sad. They are my family and I thought they cared. The twins looked at each other and sighed. I just twiddled my thumbs as I looked at them. Did something bad happen? Did I miss something? I looked up to see Hikaru trying to say something but he just couldn't for some reason.

"We've been looking for Kevin." Kaoru finally said.

"Wait, what?!"

"Kyouya-senpai said he hasn't been at school for a few days. We wanted to find him to cheer you up." The older devil explained.

"But Kevin just disappeared. We wanted to surprise you." They chorused.

I smiled. I wanted to hug them but dinner was served. We all began to eat our delicious meals. It's funny I worry over nothing. Shit I'm becoming like Tamaki-senpai! Like father, like daughter I suppose. I looked at the duo in front of me. They seem to be enjoying the meal. Afterwards I gave them a tour of the house and we spent some time together before they left.

The next day, I felt refreshed. I feel so much better plus I had a decent night's sleep. I was able to come to school today which made me feel even better despite wearing that dress again. As soon as the limo stopped in front of the prestigious school, I jumped out and ran into the building. I wanted to surprise everyone that I'm back. Plus I'm hoping Kevin is back so I can have a word with him.

I waited for the twins and Haruhi in the classroom. I was quite early so I decided to draw in my notebook. Soon I heard the bell which meant people will be filing into their classrooms now. A little later Hikaru, Kaoru and Haruhi were chatting as they came in. Hikaru had a serious look on his face so he must have been concerned about something. They all turned to me and smiled.

"Miss me?" I asked coyly.

Throughout the lesson, I noticed Hikaru kept looking at me. The way he looked at me made me concerned. While he was smiling, his eyes were sad. I wonder why? I just returned a smile of my own but if something's bothering him, he would tell me right? I hope so.

After the lesson, I tried to run and search for Kevin. Luckily, I had found him and I grabbed his ear and dragged him away from the crowd. He was crying in pain and also yelling at me but I didn't care, I needed to know what was going on.

"We need to talk." I said.

He said nothing.

"What's the matter with you? Why are you avoiding me?" I asked.

"It's complicated." He finally said.

"Don't give me that crap!" I shouted.

"I'm sorry." He apologised.

"Well tell me what's buggin' you when you're ready." I walked off.

I didn't want to press on the matter so I just went back to the twins. I saw that they gave each other sceptical looks. I still need to talk to Hikaru not just because he's been acting strange but because of how I feel.

Lunch was even weirder. While everyone else was okay chatting to each other, whenever I tried talking to Hikaru, he was blunt and awkward towards me. Is he upset with me? Is he angry? I don't know. I left the group as soon as finished my meal and headed towards the music room. I decided to play on the piano to clear my head. I danced my fingers across the keys. It's kind of funny. Last time I was alone and playing the piano was when I met the Hosts. I'm so glad I did.

It was the end of the day and so the club began. I ran out of the class a little bit late as I was still taking notes. As soon as I finished I exited the room and the twins decided to stop me. I was rather confused since aren't we supposed to be heading for the club? Kyouya-senpai would have a bitch fit if we were late.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"We need more coffee, mind getting us some?" The devils asked.

"Doesn't Haruhi usually do it?"

"We need her for a little bit. So you can go!" Hikaru laughed sheepishly.

I huffed before I left for the supermarket. I knew the usual brand so it wasn't that hard to find but something was on my mind. Why are they still spending so much time with her? Is something going on that I don't know about? What does Tamaki-senpai know of all this? I sighed and paid for the coffee and left. I headed back to the school, dreading what people are doing behind my back. I opened the door to the club and watched the scene in front of me.

"Haruhi, will you uh go out with me?" Hikaru asked.

Clang!

I had dropped the coffee and my vision began to blur. Everyone looked at me in shock including Kyouya-senpai and Mori-senpai. I took a step back. I... I thought Hikaru likes me? I was wrong and… and everyone lied to me! All of them stabbed me in the back. I shook my head and ran out of the room.

Hikaru's P.O.V

I had watched Eve cry and ran out of the room. I looked at the others and they too had surprised looks on their faces. I saw my brother and he nodded at me to go after her. This isn't what it looked like! I ran out too; trying to find her but man, she's fast!

I couldn't find her anywhere. I kept calling her name but she never replied. I slowed down to catch my breath. I could feel anxiety creeping up on me as I couldn't find her. I called her name once more. I hope she hasn't gone home yet. If only I told her the truth! My breath returned back to normal and everything was quiet. Until I heard sobs coming from the janitor's closet.

Eve's P.O.V

I had locked myself in a room supposedly the janitor's closet as there were brooms and the smell of cleaning product stung my nose a little. I slid down the door and pulled my knees up as I rest my head and arms on them. Tears poured out of my eyes as I hiccupped. I was being played all this time. I feel so stupid. Haruhi is perfect! She isn't rude or sarcastic, she's nice and everyone loves her. I can't compete with that.

Knock knock!

"Eve?" Hikaru asked.

I couldn't say anything. My throat was closed up that I physically couldn't say a word. He led me on. I don't think I can even speak to him. I heard the door handle rattle a little bit.

"Open the door Eve." He sounded genuinely sad. I think he also slid down the door.

I stopped sobbing and my throat cleared up. I couldn't stop sniffling which has nothing to do with sickness this time. I then felt and heard banging on the door as he begged me to open it. I was slightly scared but I knew Hikaru isn't doing it to hurt me.

"Eve, just talk to me."

"There's nothing I need to say. Actions speak louder than words." I cried.

"I don't have feelings for Haruhi! She was helping me to ask someone else out. You."

"W-what?"

"I care about you Eve. I love the way you play pranks on people, your sarcasm, your cheekiness, your loyalty and feeling the need to help people. And I love you."

My eyes widened as I wiped the last tears away from my eyes. I pushed myself up and unlocked the door. I stepped back as he opened it. I didn't care if my eyes are red and puffy; I needed him to say it. I need to clarify that he means everything he just said.

"Y-you mean that?" I asked.

He nodded. He then stepped up to me and wiped my tear stained cheeks with his thumbs. He leaned down and our lips touched for the first time. A bolt of electricity shot through my body in such a rush I couldn't believe it! He loves me, he truly loves me! He pulled me into his chest and held me tighter. I couldn't help but smile as we kissed.

We pulled apart and tried to get our breath back. We laughed a little and smiled as we looked into each other's eyes. I saw love in those honey coloured orbs. He offered his hand and I immediately took it. He squeezed it as we headed back to the club.

When we entered the room, there were no guests so I guess the club wasn't on today. I concluded that it was my fault but I knew that everyone would have understood. Everyone looked at me and Hikaru holding hands. My cheeks heated up and I knew they became rosy. Every just smiled while the younger devil gave a thumbs up. I'm so happy that after many months I'm finally with the guy I love.

So there you have it! At long last, Hikaru and Eve are together! But what is Kevin going to think? And what's going to happen to the brotherly love package? Find out in the next chapter!
